The Native Americans regard Columbus as very cruel and protest the celebration of his coming to the Americas.
This would have been placed in the old Carnegie Library which was replaced by this newer building. The small brass plaque says it was rededicated Oct. 7 2007. It lists the county executive and members of the Library Board of Trustees.
